Naturalist based in Mumbai, India with a keen interest in flowering plants and insects, particularly Lepidoptera. My observations primarily revolve around the urban biodiversity, but I also frequent city gardens, playgrounds, and nurseries to document local flora and fauna. Using my mobile camera, I capture images to support my records.

Constantly seeking to enhance my identification skills, I like to try out on various tools and resources from Scientific literature, to AI based tools.

With a master's degree in Biotechnology and environmental science, my professional experience lies in Cancer research. Since 2019, I've been an active user of iNaturalist, contributing towards citizen science. Through my social media channels on Facebook and YouTube (@butterfliesofmulund), I share my discoveries and insights. Additionally, I serve as a local language translator for the iNaturalist community, offering support in Marathi and Hindi.
